The beginning of Reid in Kansas coincided with the arrival of Alex Smith via trade from the 49ers, in short, the perfect quarterback for the West Coast attack the former coach of the Eagles. Until this year their attack has been marked on the idea of not losing the ball, especially with long balls, giving the ball to Charles (when healthy) and rely on a great defense to win games. The story has changed this year, without Jamal Charles all season and with the explosion of young wide receiver as Conley Hill and coach Reid has decided to change the offensive strategy by implementing long balls when the two young wide receiverS are marked in man. Often these long balls are fly routes or deep post so as to maximize the speed missmatch, this evolution was not only due to the arrival of new receivers but also to a considerable improvement by Alex Smith that compared to the past is He managed to be accurate in the medium and long range without being intercepted often, something that the place in San Francisco had cost. This change has certainly distorted the Chiefs of the game that has always been the same, careful not to lose balls and always with a racing game of some significance, however, unlike in the past the secondary enemy can no longer play with the safety close the line of scrimmage, which in the past created many problems seen monodimensionality of their attack. Another merit must go to coach Reid is the fact of the production in terms of yards rushing is not having even partially abandoned the running game, in fact, even without Jamal Charles remained on a good level thanks to an excellent job of an offensive line of the highest level led by Schwartz. The right tackle former Browns was signed in the offseason to limit pasrushers opponents with special attention to divisional rival Von Miller who generally operates right on Schwartz's side, not only the game about the steps it has benefited but also the running game given that the ability of right tackle opening holes to run Ware and West is out of the question and has been consistent throughout the season to date. In my opinion the key man attack of Kansas City is the tight end Travis Kelce that besides being a good blocker on running game is one of the best if not the best tight end in the NFL as far as the ability to run precise areas that make it a missmatch almost inevitable for opposing defenses, and also an easy target for Smith in third-down situation. What really makes it inevitable Travis Kelce besides his route running is its speed combined with a tonnage of scheduled man who does not allow them to do linebacker to defensive backs to mark him one on one, which is why he and Smith have the active strip more than the steps between quarterback and NFL single receiver without an interception. The Chiefs of attack is very well tactically also changed in terms of the mentality before their goal was not to lose the ball, trying to capitalize on a good field position provided to it by the defense and keep the ball as much as possible to give breathless with their companions of the defense department. But now I see an attack that believes more in himself, capable as in Denver to score a touchdown making the whole field against a good defense, also capable of winning high scoring games even when the defense does not give a good performance. All this along with excellent special teams and defense is capable of stopping opponents to score points in my opinion makes Kansas City a likely contender for the Superbowl, especially if they were to win the advantage of the home court advantage in the playoffs playing a Arrowed Stadium which together at CenturyLink Field in Seattle is competing for the title of loudest stadium in the world, thus creating a very hostile environment for their opponents.
